Eco Wanaka Adventures

Lake Cruise & Island Nature Walk - 4 hours (1 hour walking): Cruise to introduced predator free Mou Waho Island. This reserve is home to bellbirds, tomtit, NZ pigeon, falcon and inquisitive buff weka which are thriving here (extinct on mainland NZ since 1920). This island has a secret – a lake on top! Here the panorama of the Southern Alps at our "High Tea" spot is unique & very photogenic. We plant a native tree on every trip to the island - a "Hands On" eco-experience. Rob Roy Glacier Guided Trek – Full day (5 hours moderate walk): The most varied one day walk in New Zealand! Crossing the swing bridge we enter the rainforest habitat for bellbirds, riflemen and tomtit. Lunch in the alpine herb fields home to the kea, NZ's Alpine parrot, and where spectacular icefalls may be observed. Alpine Lakes Heli Hike- 4 hours (easy to moderate options): Three pristine emerald lakes 1400m up – views of Mt Aspiring from this World heritage area, home of kea and rock wren.
